+++When the Lakota leader Sitting Bull was asked by a white reporter why his people loved and respected him, Sitting Bull replied by asking if it was not true that among white people a man is respected because he has many horses, many houses? When the reporter replied that was indeed true, Sitting Bull then said that his people respected him because he kept nothing for himself.

+++The Taoists have a famous teaching about an empty boat that keeps ramming into you. While you probably wouldn’t be angry at an empty boat, you might well become quite angry if someone was actually inside that boat intentionally causing it to ram into you.
The point of the story is that we have all suffered at the hands of those who mindlessly hurt us, such as parents who didn’t raise you with love and kindness, other kids who teased and bullied you when you were a child, the driver who aggressively tailgated you or refused let you pass. Or maybe the person who snapped thoughtlessly at you for no apparent reason. All of these are in fact like empty, rudderless boats. Those who bumped into you were the boats that were propelled by their own unexamined, unhealed wounds, therefore they were not focusing on who they were hurting. They just crashed mindlessly into whatever was in front of them.
Just as an empty boat that rams into us isn’t targeting us personally, so too people who act unkindly are driven along by the unconscious force of their own past wounds and pain. Until we realize this, we will remain prisoners of our own grievances, and we will see ourselves as a victim who deserve to be angry and preoccupied with resentment. All of this preoccupation upon the empty boats that have rammed us keeps us from being open to the more powerful and beautiful currents within our life that are always flowing through the present moment to bless us.

“It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection.” - Voltaire

“The death of a dream can in fact serve as the vehicle that endows it with new form, with reinvigorated substance,
a fresh flow of ideas, and splendidly revitalized color.
In short, the power of a certain kind of dream is such that death need not indicate finality at all but rather signify a
metaphysical leap forward.” - Aberjhani
